At the JW Marriott Absheron Baku, Guests Savor Dishes and
Design at Five Renovated Restaurants

BAKU, AZERBAIJAN -- (Marketwired) -- May 28,
2015 -- When it comes to cuisine, the design of the restaurant is
nearly as important as the flavors on the plate. From the
composition of each dish, to the lighting fixtures and wall
finishes, dining gratifies more senses than just taste. And for
those eager to bite into the best
restaurants in Baku, only one place offers a buzzing scene
matched with exceptional cuisine: the JW Marriott Absheron
Baku.

As the preeminent destination among 5-star hotels in Baku, the
JW Marriott features five restaurants and bars that offer a
tempting range of menus (think steakhouse to tea lounge). And every
dining venue has been renovated during the past year.

Considering the hotel just opened in 2012, the updates speak to
the property's commitment to the guest experience. And, true to its
reputation as one of the top
luxury hotels in Baku, the property retained London designer
Henry Chebaane from Blue Sky Hospitality to revamp each
restaurant.

The results are as dramatic as the hotel itself. ZEST Lifestyle
Café reopened on May 1, 2014, two years to the day after the
hotel opened. Because its healthy, organic salads and sandwiches
take their cue from the Mediterranean, the restaurant's
décor was built around the striking, citrus-inspired
lighting installation that features 101 globes and 2,500 rods of
translucent yellow, orange and lime.

OroNero Bar & Ristorante, the final restaurant that was
completed on May 1, 2015 (exactly one year after ZEST Lifestyle
Café), takes a turn for the opulent. Inspired by
Azerbaijan's mineral wealth and the glamour of Italy's luxury
industries, black and gold unfold throughout the dining space,
walk-in wine cellar, prosecco bar, grappa library and even the
"open" kitchen, which is enclosed by translucent gold screens. The
showpiece of this fine-dining Italian restaurant, however, is the
"Golden Beluga": a sturgeon sculpture crafted from carbon fiber,
24-carat gold-plated steel and titanium F1 car parts.

Fireworks Urban Kitchen is equally thematic, serving its steaks
and fine wines in an atmosphere "born of fire." (Think glowing
metal rods and translucent bricks interlaid to create a setting of
light and shadow.) The women-owned and -operated Razzmatazz
Cocktail Bar & Lounge carries the country's ancient love affair
with weaving into a new dimension with digital pomegranate images
projected onto the walls. And the Tea Lounge transforms the ancient
ritual of tea into modern theater with a tea altar hemmed in by
four floor-to-ceiling glass "cellars" of tea, clouds of steam from
tea-making and a selection of pastries, chocolates and other
drinks.

With five renovated restaurants dishing out as much flair as
they do flavor, the hotel is poised to become a culinary capital in
Baku, Azerbaijan.
